Good for you for asking her outright - even if it took awhile to steady your nerves. I struggled a lot with feeling like I didn't know anything about my therapist early on in therapy. The imbalance was really unsettling for me, as if she had all the power, or something. And there is a power differential there, no two ways about it. I still experience periods of wanting to know more - usually when I'm wanting to feel closer to her - but overall, that uncomfortable feeling around the imbalance has settled down.
